This year, we have two different offerings for lifesaving classes:
- Junior lifesaving, which offers an introduction to lifeguarding, CPR, and first aid for 12- to 14-year-olds; and
- Regular lifesaving, which will provide Red Cross certification for those age 15 and older who may be interested in employment as lifeguards.
Junior lifesaving March 14 and 15
Junior lifesaving is an overview of the regular lifesaving classes. Participants will NOT receive certification through junior lifesaving, but they will get a good grasp of the skills and knowledge needed for the regular lifesaving classes.
Details about junior lifesaving:
- Open to swimmers ages 12-14.
- Sessions will be held Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15 from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm at the YWCA. (Participants must attend both sessions.)
- Cost is $170, payable to YWCA Evanston/North Shore.
- Class size is limited to 10, so sign up now by contacting Pete.
Regular lifesaving in April
We will offer regular lifesaving and CPR at the YWCA for those age 15 and over on:
- Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 from 10 am - 4 pm, and
- Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 from 10 am - 4 pm.
Participants must attend all four sessions to become certified. Information on class size, registration, and fees to come.
